“After 108 years, the Boy Scouts program is set to drop the gender from its name and re-emerge as "Scouts BSA," a more "inclusive" group that will also soon welcome girls in its ranks...”

    My daughter sometimes tags along at my son's cub scouting events. I'm happy she'll have the option of joining. There at an age where there aren't any boy/girl issues I can see. I'm really happy they've become more inclusive. My understanding is my daughter can join next school year. She wants to join because her brownie troop is too focused on selling cookies and crafts. My son's pack kept fundraising really well contained. It could just be the leadership at the pack / troop level. In any case, I'm thrilled she'll have the option to join.

    Last I heard it was over 100!
    Only muslims that blow themselves up get the choice of "72" different genders!

    Maybe our PC elite betters will pressure a merger and call it the Target Restroom Scouts.
    Anyone see/recall the shower scene in the Starship Troopers flick? Think camping.
